Vinegar in the Wash

by Michelle
(Fairmount, Indiana, USA)

There is no need to spend outrageous money on those high priced oxygen cleaners. Add a half cup to one cup of vinegar to your wash cycle with the detergeant. There are no harsh chemicals in vinegar. It brightens your clothes. It is also a great alternative to bleach. Vinegar used as a prewash on most stains works wonders also. I am one of those "see it to believe" people. I have seen it and I believe in it whole heartedly.

I Agree
by: Anonymous

I agree with you about the vinegar in the wash. My husband is a diesel mechanic and as you can guess his clothes are challenging to wash. I add about a 1/4 cup of vinegar in the wash and his clothes come out cleaner than they do when I use the name brand stain removers. I also will rub a little bit of vinegar directly on a stain if it is really bad and just like magic it disappears.

I agree with putting vinegar in with your wash, it brightens and takes away smells better than anything else I've used. With the way the world is going green is the way to go, with vinegar there is no harsh chemicals to worry about.

I hear this also works well if you have white shirts with yellowing in the armpit area.

Vinegar great pre-treatment for colored jeans
by: Anonymous

If you soak your new jeans (any color) in a 50:50 water:vinegar solution for 12 hours this prevents your jeans from running and fading. I've done this with several pairs of jeans, even a black pair that I recently purchase. Don't worry once you run them through the wash once they don't smell at all.

Viegar in the wash is a great inexpensive way to get rid of smells. I work in an animal hospital and we sometimes use it in the laundry and in the mop water toget rid of smells.

Some things you should know about using vinegar in your wash:
1. Use the clear stuff! Otherwise you'll end up staining your clothes.
2. Vinegar is a base, so all it's going to do is soften your water like fabric softener

Smelly Cat Pee.... Ruined Shirt?
by: Anonymous

I soaked my shirt in apple cider vinegar in the kitchen sink for about an hour! Then I washed the shirt in the washer, with plenty of detergent and also a 2nd rinse cycle! It not took out the smelly pee!

Vinegar in the wash
by: Netta

Vinegar is a wonderfully inexpensive solution for a great many problems, and in the wash it is great. It should be kept in mind that for household chores, especially laundry, white vinegar is best as compared to the apple cider variety.

Another tip for vinegar use is that it absorbs cooking odors in the kitchen. I keep about a cup of vinegar on the stove-top and it cuts the severity of some of those smelly foods that can leave a lingering odor long after the meal is over, for example fish.
